Benin Republic head coach Gernot Rohr has delivered his latest prediction on the decisive World Cup playoff clash between Nigeria and DR Congo.
Rohr has backed the Super Eagles to edge Sunday’s contest in Rabat, but not without cautioning that the Congolese bring genuine danger.

The Franco-German tactician, who previously coached Nigeria, had successfully forecast that both teams would win their respective semi-final ties on Thursday. Nigeria eventually overpowered Gabon 4-1 after extra time, while DR Congo sealed progression with a dramatic stoppage-time header to defeat Cameroon 1-0.
Now, Rohr believes the Super Eagles will ‘go through,’ yet he remains wary of the Leopards’ set-piece threat and physical profile; qualities he expects could complicate Nigeria’s bid to reach the 2026 intercontinental playoffs.
